I know what you are thinking.. 'what the ?'

But fun fact, I was basically raised in a restaurant kitchen and was a cook and assistant restaurant manager and bartender for around 14 years.

Without further preamble... here it is, the recipe to make your own delicious deep fried chicken.

You will need.

Flour mix 
• 1.5 cups self-raising flour (no issue using gluten-free flour)
• 1/2 cup cornflour
• 1/2 tbspn thyme
• 1/2 tbspn basil 
• 1/3 tbspn oregano
• 1 tbspn celery salt
• 1 tbspn black pepper
• 1 tbspn dry mustard
• 1 tbspn cumin
• 4 tbspn paprika
• 1 tbspn garlic salt
• 3 tbspn white pepper
• 1/2 tbspn MSG (or 2/3 tbspn salt)

Make sure the chicken has the skin on (for the yummy crunchy bits)

Soak the Skin On chicken in Buttermilk (this is just milk with some salt and lemon juice in it, it has nothing to do with butter) for at least four hours, overnight if possible, you can keep it in the flour/spice mix as long as you like, the spice mix actually marinates into the chicken)
Heat Rice bran oil to 160 degrees Centigrade (easy way to tell, put a wooden chopstick in it, if it bubbles, it is hot enough), fry the chicken for around 6-7 minutes, check the internal temperature, it must be 69 degrees centigrade.
